Wireless Sensor Networks is dispersed by a group composed of sensors and Base Stations. It can be used in various applications of remote monitoring system. Sensor nodes route the collected data to the Base Station via multi-hop wireless links. These sensors typically use batteries to operate, the battery cannot be replaced when the depletion of energy resources. Therefore, how to use energy-saving sensor networks to extend the overall working time efficiently is an important subject. Our research is based on "A Power Control Mechanism based on Sleep Scheduling for Wireless Sensor Networks". We proposed a refined mechanism of routing protocol for wireless sensor networks with sleep scheduling. In wireless sensor network with sleep scheduling, active node adjusts its working time and each step in sleeping state earlier. In the multi-hop transmission mode, each node broadcasts the packet to confirm the receiving node. Therefore, we use routing information to reduce the number of broadcasting during transmission. When route node with low rest power cannot transfer, in order to remain completed route, we can execute interrupt handler procedure to reduce the package loss. Finally, to achieve power efficiency, we will simulate if the proposed algorithm can reduce energy consumption effectively in the data transmission procedure.
